Well, I'm back.

[gement]

Advance notice, I'm saying this all wrong and it's hackneyed and obvious. Live with it.

I came home from RotK, and the house was empty, so I proceeded straight to my teen sister's choir concert, already in progress. I stood at the back, in the dark, and listened to the (non-audition) concert band, which sounds like high school concert bands everywhere. And I looked at all the nice, normal, small town hobbi people in the seats, and I realized again.

I left this place six years ago. I pulled up stakes, I packed my things, and I left for good. I've been back for eighteen months, but I'm never really back. You can't go home.

I feel it close to constantly, and usually it feels good. Progressive. Onward and upward. I save and I plan and I prepare and I dream of going back to the Emerald City, and I never properly live here. I can't anymore.

I never thought I would stand in this place. It hurts really bad.

Damn Peter Jackson for spelling it out for me again in letters ten feet tall.

Oh yes they are. ;^P

Coming soon to a city near you. I'm just waiting on my Cam contact to let me know which days Changeling is playing, then I can set you on finding tickets.

They are NOT!

"Coming soon to a city near you. I'm just waiting on my Cam contact to let me know which days Changeling is playing, then I can set you on finding tickets."

Stupenducious. Lemme know ASAP and I'll get on it. Now, I assume you'll be coming to Seattle first, or will you want to go to Portland straight from where you are? That's a lot of Greyhound to bus to Seattle, then turn around, bus to Portland, then back up to Seattle, then back to Clarkston. oO;; I suppose it'll depend on when the Changeling days are.

Are so.

To Seattle for NYE, down to Portland on the 1st or 2nd, depending on Changeling schedule, back up to Seattle no earlier than the 4th, date negotiable (I'd prefer something I can redeem flexibly, whic I seem to recall is the case with Greyhound tickets).

Now really...

...I don't think you spent that much time looking at my feet last visit. ;p I seem to recall you being distracted by other things most of that time. Things like "Pirates of Penzance". *cough*
Anyway. if you are around this afternoon/evening/whenevr, I will give you a call, and we can work out the finer details. I like working out details. It feels like ironing a wrinkly shirt. *grin* I am cra~azy.

Umm, lately, there is no Changeling being run in Seattle or Everett. Sadly. I don't have time, Matthew is dropping Garou, not about to take up another...

And Seattle is just a whole other can of worms.

What's this Changeling you speak of? A play, or are you talking about a LARP, etc.?

Curiously,

Sorry, LARP. The evil pushers have reminded me that I still have a decent-sized stake in the Cam storyline that's running at the NW convention in Portland this year. I'm a sucker and I know it, clap your hands!

But the Princess is getting married!

Alright Sucker

You need to stop by my place on Jan 1st for Rickie's costume. I know you (or your character) will have trouble dressing him up for a wedding.

So I have designated my character as the one to dress him. And due to my impecible taste and ability to pack rat, I have found teh perfect outfit for Rickie. All you need is a good pair of slacks and shoes. I'll take care of the rest.
